HomeSolar System articles AllJupiter planet Hi
guys, I have described here about Jupiter
Planet. Before I start let me tell you guys, I
have written this article like a story so that
you all can enjoy reading this article and dont
get bored. So lets start. Note-Everything
described in this article is 100
true. 1.Jupiter planet Guys in our solar system,
as you all know currently we have 8 planets in
our solar system. And among these planets,
Jupiter planet is the bigger planet than all
other planets. We also call it a Gas
giant. Besides this, it is the 5th planet from
Sun and the 2nd from our Earth .

• Jupiter planet color
• It looks like light yellow color. And in the
  Hindi language, we call it (Guru or varahaspati).
• how did planet Jupiter get its name
• So, guys, you would be surprised to know that
  this planet was discovered in ancient times. I
  mean to say that before scientists we had seen
  this planet.
• Because it is so bigger that it can be seen in
  the sky in the night with our eyes easily and it
  is sometimes seen in the day time, but on just
  one condition, Sun should be below Earth or sun
  should be behind Jupiter, only then we can see it.

2

• The planet was named by Roman people. Roman is
  the main deities of Mythology. Romans consider
  Roman deity to be a symbol of happiness and joy.
  And they believe that Jupiter is also a symbol
  of happiness for us.
• And ancient people, that is, astrologers named it
  Zobian, Which later changed to Jupiter. So it
  was a matter of naming it. So now lets talk
  about its distance and rotation.
• Jupiter Distance From Earth
• So its distance from Earth is 15 Crore, 56 Lacs,
  82 thousand and 404 km.
• Jupiter distance from the sun
• Its distance from the sun is 77 Crore, 84 Lacs,
  and 12 thousand and 20 km, That is 5 times more
  than the earth. This distance of Jupiter planet
  is an average distance from the sun.
• If we talk about the minimum distance from the
  sun than this is 74 crore, 2 Lacs, 6 thousand
  and 600 km.
• And if we talk about maximum distance than this
  is 81 crore, 60 Lacs, 81 thousand and 400 km.
• 6.Jupiter Rotation period (Jupiter planet)
• If we talk about its rotation, it completes
  around on its axis in just 10 hours. And this
  speed of movement is higher than all the planets
  present in our solar system. That means its one
  day is of 10 hours.
• And because of moving so fast, this planet has
  become thicker in the middle. And has become
  smaller from the lower and upper portion. If we
  talk about revolving Sun, then it completes one
  round of Sun in 4328.9 days, which means in 11.86
  years it completes one rotation.
• According to this, one year of Jupiter is equal
  to 12 years of the earth. And if we talk about
  an interesting fact then Jupiter takes 5 rounds
  of sun and Saturn takes 2 rounds of the sun at
  the same time.
• Or we can say that there is a rotation ratio
  between these two planets is of 5 ratios 2(52).
  And if we talk about another interesting fact, in
  Hindu beliefs, Jupiter is the master of deity
  and son of Saturn.And is the emperor of the
  Olympus and protector of the Roman Empire.
• 7.When was Jupiter Discovered

3

• So friends, we humans are eager to know
  everything deeply. And because of this
  eagerness, Scientist wants to know the Planet
  Jupiter closely. And in the year 1610,
  scientists got this success. That is, scientist
  Galileo saw Jupiter Planet in the year of 1610s
  by telescope.
• Galileo also discovered four of its largest
  satellites along with Jupiter Planet. You will
  be surprised to know that these satellites had
  been discovered before Galileo.
• Yes, Friends Chinese astronomy historian has
  claimed that a Chinese astronomer, Gan- De,
  discovered one of the Jupiter Planet moons 342
  ISA ago, without the help of a telescope. Now no
  one knows how much it is true and how much lies.
• And if this is true then it was discovered 2
  centuries before the discovery of Galileo. But
  today, the discovery of these planets and
  satellites is credited to Galileo. And these
  four satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede, and
  Callisto are called Galilean satellites.
• 8.Galilean satellites

• These Galileans are the first satellites
  discovered after the moon of Earth. And the
• Ganymede satellite is so big that even the planet
  Mercury is smaller in front of it.
• Galileo looked at the Jupiter Planet from the
  telescope for many years in search of more
  planets and satellites. And this was the time
  when the Earth was believed to be situated in
  the center of the universe.
• And it was also believed that all planets and
  satellites and the Sun also revolve around the
  Earth.
• Galileo found that the satellites of the Jupiter
  are moving continuously and after a few months,
  they stop appearing. And this can happen only
  when the Jupiter satellites are orbiting the
  Jupiter and not the earth.
• And this proved that these satellites are
  orbiting the Jupiter. And this also proved that
  all the planets and satellites are not orbiting
  the earth.
• And when Galileo placed this matter in front of
  the people, he had to take an apology from the
  people.

4

• Because people had refused to believe this and
  they used to say that the Earth planet is our
  god and everyone is its disciple, so why would
  the earth revolve around them?
• But Galileo also stood by this point. But they
  could not resist Christianity And he had to take
  an apology from everyone as a punishment.
• And after that a lot of scientists proved it but
  everyone got punished and one scientist was
  hanged on the cross. And then after that, he gave
  a new law and that was Suryas central
  principle. That means the Sun is in the center
  and all the planets are orbiting the Sun. So
  that is how it was discovered.
• 9.what spacecraft have we sent to Jupiter?
  (Jupiter planet)
• 1.Friends Jupiter Planet is one of the older
  planets, through which we can find out about the
  origin of the Earth. To date, 9 spacecraft have
  been sent to Jupiter Planet. Of which 4
  spacecraft have been very important.
• 10.Pioneer 10
• Friends, this process started in 1972 when our
  scientists sent Pioneer 10 for Jupiter Planet
  from the earth. Let me tell you that Pioneer 10
  is a spacecraft. Who flew from Earth to Jupiter
  on 2 March 1972. And the happy thing is that
  despite being the first spacecraft, it reached
  1,30,000 km near Jupiter Planet.
• This mission got the first nearest photos of
  Jupiters atmosphere and its moons. And through
  this spacecraft, it was found that the radiation
  area of
• the Jupiter was more powerful than expected.
• 11.Pioneer 11 (Jupiter planet)
• Friends, because of the pioneer 10 successfully
  approaching the Jupiter so close, the scientists
  sent another spacecraft named Pioneer 11 on 5
  April 1973 (April 6 UTC) from the earth. But it
  did not succeed like Pioneer 10.
• After it went away from the earth 34000
  kilometers, there was some technical problem in
  it, but after fixing this fault, this spacecraft
  was released on December 4, 1974.
• And both spacecraft succeeded in living in the
  radiated area of the Jupiter.

4.You will be surprised to know that the photos
taken by these two spacecraft revealed that
there was a huge red spot on the surface of
Jupiter Planet and the journey of these two
spacecraft ends here. They could not give more
information than this.

• 12.Voyager mission
• About five to six years later, that is, another
  spacecraft was released on March 4, 1979. It was
  named the voyager mission, and this spacecraft
  reached 3,49,000 kilometers away from the earth,
  it broke the record of Pioneer 10.
• And because of getting so close, it greatly
  improved the understanding
• of the Galilean moon. And Jupiters rings were
  discovered. So now we talk about these Jupiter
  rings. And then move further.
• 13.Does Jupiter also have Rings?
• Friends, just as there is a ring of icy layers
  around Saturn which is moving around Saturn at a
  certain speed, similarly there are rings around
  Jupiter. But it is made of dust and not icy, and
  this ring of Jupiter is also made of three
  layers like Saturn Planet.
• Whose names are halo ring, main ring, and
  gossamer rings. And only the halo ring is shiny
  in these rings.
• But friends, now you may have a
• question here, how did these rings come around
  the Jupiter?

6

• So let me tell you that its construction is made
  by Adrastea and Matris moons colliding with the
  Jupiter. These two moons were pulled by Jupiters
  gravity. And the direction of rotation of these
  rings is also towards the direction of Jupiter.
• Friends, as I have told you, the photos taken
  from Pioneer 10 and 11 revealed that Jupiter had
  a very big red spot on the surface of the planet.
• But the photos taken by the spacecraft voyager
  showed that the color of red spots has changed
  in these five years after the pioneer mission.
• And now this color was moving towards dark brown
  color and after studying more deeply it was
  found that its moon IO was passing over its
  surface. And there were volcanoes on it. On
  which the volcanic eruption was going on.
• And these volcanoes were visible as red spots.
  And here the voyager mission comes to an end.
• 14.Galileo mission (Jupiter planet)
• Galileo spacecraft was launched on
• 18 October 1989. And it reached
• Jupiters orbit on 7 December 1995.
• Friends, you might not know that till now only
  Galileo mission has made the rounds of Jupiter
  Planet. And you might not even know that it was
  moving around Jupiter up to 7 years.
• The mission of this spacecraft came to an end
  when the Galileo spacecraft was deliberately
  landed on the surface of the Jupiter on 21
  September 2003 at a speed of 40 kilometers per
  second.
• As the Galileo spacecraft burned to ashes as it
  entered Jupiters gravity area. Friends, now the
  next mission is prepared for Jupiter.
• 15.Ulysses Mission

7
1.Friends, let me tell you here that the first
Ulysses was sent during the voyager mission. But
it did not succeed and the second Ulysses was
sent on 4th February 2004 towards Jupiter. And
this space spacecraft studied the magnetosphere
of Jupiter. So now lets study the magnetosphere
of Jupiter.

• 16.Jupiter Magnetosphere
• Friends, the magnetosphere is also called a
  magnetic field. And its magnetic area is 14
  times more powerful than on Earth. The 4.2 gauss
  at the equator of the Jupiter and 10 to 14 gauss
  magnetic field at the poles makes it the most
  powerful magnetic area of the solar system.
• It is believed that these magnetic fields are
  formed by vortex currents that are formed by
  moving conductive materials from the metal
  hydrogen core. Friends, there are a big amount
  of volcanoes on the moon IO.
• Which produces torus by emitting sulfur dioxide
  gas and torus enters the atmosphere of the
  Jupiter and produces a very large magnetic field
  consisting of hydrogen ions.
• This Ulysses spacecraft had reached far away from
  the Earth, about 120 million kilometers. Then in
  the year 2000, the Cassini spacecraft flew to
  reach Saturn and captured the pictures of the
  Himalayan moon.
• And then finally the new Horizon spacecraft flew
  with the help of Gravity to go to the planet
  Pluto, and this spacecraft captured the volcano
  on the IO satellite in the camera. And studied
  all four Galileo Satellites in detail. And here
  these missions are over.
• 17. Atmosphere of Jupiter
• 1.Friends This is no less than an interesting
  fact that Jupiters atmosphere is the largest
  atmosphere in the solar system. Which is about
  4000 kilometers in height.

8

• Friends, you will be surprised to know that there
  is no surface on Jupiter Planet. So we calculate
  the base of the atmosphere by the temperature of
  the atmosphere.
• And the base of the atmosphere of the Jupiter is
  considered to be that point, where the pressure
  of the atmosphere is 20 times more than the
  pressure of the surface of the earth.
• 18.Chemical composition of Jupiter
• The upper atmosphere of the Jupiter Planet
  consists of approximately 8892 hydrogen and
  812 helium. Do you know that the helium atom
  has four times more mass than the hydrogen atom.
  And for this reason, about 75 of its atmosphere
  is made up of hydrogen and 24 of the atmosphere
  is helium.
• And the remaining 1 atmosphere is made up of
  other elements. Friends astronomers believe that
  in the central part of the Jupiter, hydrogen
  exists in the form of hydrogen crushed by fierce
  pressure.
• And apart from this, there are also signs of
  Jupiter having methane, water vapor, ammonia,
  silicon, carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide and
  sulfur in the atmosphere.
• When scientists investigated this planet through
  the infrared paragonics, they also found the
  number of hydrocarbons. Friends, if we cut 10
  lakh pieces of Jupiter, or divide it into one
  million parts, then the amount of neon in its
  twenty parts per million will be present.
• And it is an interesting fact that the same
  proportion occurs in the sun also. Friends,
  apart from this, the structure of Jupiter is
  considered similar to Saturn Planet based on
  spectroscopy.
• 19.Mass of Jupiter
• The mass of Jupiter is 2.5 times the combined
  mass of all planets in our solar system. And if
  compare with the earth, it is 318 times bigger
  than the earth and its mass is one- thousandth
  of the mass of the sun i.e. its mass in front of
  the sun is almost none.
• The mass of the Jupiter is 1.898 10 27 kg
  which means 18 lakh 49 thousand 130 lakh
  trillion kilograms. And in short, it is written
  as 1.898E27.
• 20.Jupiter rotation
• 1.Its elliptical orbit is tilted 1.31 degrees
  compared to Earth. Its decentralized value is
• 0.048. But its axis tilt is very low, only 3.13
  degrees. And being so low, no significant
  seasonal changes like Earth and Mars are
  experienced on this planet.
• 2.Meaning there is no weather on it. The value of
  Jupiter is 23.12 meters per second

9

• system first, system second and system third.
• 3.The system first has the shortest rotation
  period of 9 hours 50 minutes and 30 seconds and
  system second doesnt depend upon rotation and
  system third has 9 hours 55 minutes 40.6 seconds
  is the maximum rotation period.
• 21.Possibility of life on Jupiter
• It is believed that there is no possibility of
  life on the planet Jupiter.
• There is a small amount of water in the
  atmosphere, so we know that on the planet,
  Jupiter contains methane ammonia hydrogen.
• With the experiment done in 1953, It has been
  proved that life can be started by combining
  electric and chemical compounds on Jupiter with
  the chemical elements of Jupiter. But because of
  the lack of oxygen and water in the liquid state
  on Jupiter, it is impossible to imagine life
  there.
• But the presence of underground oceans on some of
  Jupiters moons gave rise to a greater chance of
  life.
• 22.The temperature of the Jupiter
• In Jupiters cloud, the temperature is about -145
  degrees Celsius(minus 234 degrees Fahrenheit).
  In near Jupiter planets center, the temperature
  is much hotter. Jupiters core temperature maybe
  24,000 degrees Celsius(43000 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Despite being much larger than the earth, it has
  less dense than the earth. The radius of the
  Jupiter is 1 / 10th of the radius of the Sun.
• If we talk about the value of the radius of the
  Jupiter, it is 69,911 -6 km . That is, due to
  spreading and shrinking, there is a difference of
  6 km in its radius.
• Size of the Jupiter
• If we talk about its area, it is 61.42 billion
  km². This is 121.9 times more than the area of
  the Earth. If we talk about its temperature, then
  its surface temperature is from -108 C to -145
  C.
• The size of the Jupiter is so large that it can
  contain about 1300 earth.

10

• Jupiters moon Ganymede is the largest moon in
  our entire solar system. And Jupiter has about
  64 moons, before the discovery of new satellites.
• Out of this, an underground sea is present on the
  Ganymede. In which there is more water than the
  whole earth.
• Jupiter has a huge crater on the planet. From
  which flames come out. The red spot found on
  Jupiter is a very big storm. This crater can
  contain about three earth. And it has been on
  the surface of Jupiter for 300 years.
• 25.Jupiters Moon (Jupiter planet)

1. Friends, Jupiters moons are arranged in groups
   of four based on the similarity of their orbital
   elements before the discovery of the voyager
   mission.
2. And mainly they are divided into 2 parts. Regular
   moons and irregular moons. The regular moon is
   also divided into two parts, the inner group, and
   the Galilean group.
3. The inner group of moons consists of four moons.
   And the diameter of these four moons is less
   than 200 kilometers. And the axis radius of all
   four is less than 2 lakh kilometers and axis
   tilt is less than 1/2 degree.
4. Four moons come in the Galilean moon. And the
   second is the irregular moon, it divides into
   six parts. The first of which is Callisto, it is
   the only moon of its group whose orbit is
   between Galilean moons and Himalayan group.
5. The second is the Himalayan group. All these
   moons revolve around this planet from a distance
   of 1 crore 10 lakhs kilometers to 1 crore 20
   lakhs kilometers.
6. The third is carpons. The moons of this group are
   present on the inner surface. Fourth is the
   Anake group. The average distance of these moon
   moons is 20 million 12 lakh 46 thousand
   kilometers. And the average tilt is 149 degrees.
7. Then there is the Carme Group and the Pacifier
   Group. These groups include the outer moons.
